Welsh wonderkid Ben Woodburn has scored his first senior goal and became Liverpool's youngest ever goalscorer this evening.

In just his second appearance in the first team, the 17-year-old put the EFL Cup quarter-final against Leeds United to bed when he lashed one beyond Marco Silvestri in the 81st minute, making the score 2-0.

As the ball came in from the right hand side, Woodburn latched onto Georginio Wijnaldum's lay-off to smash it emphatically into the back of the net in front of The Kop.

Woodburn had been on the pitch less than 20 minutes after coming on to replace Kevin Stewart in the 68th minute.

The stuff of dreams.

"He's a brilliant young player," said Liverpool team-mate Lucas when asked about Woodburn after the match.

"He's not been training for a very long time but he did very well in the pres-season.

"He just needs to keep learning and improving.

"The goal will give him confidence to keep learning and keep going."
